Linda, Would this collection have information on churches that are now in the areas of Berkeley or Jefferson Co? I am looking for good, detailed information concerning a group of NJ Dutch families who, beginning in about 1769, left the Conewago, PA settlement of Dutch Reformed members and moved to area of what is now near Shepherdstown, WV. An extract of a letter that was sent by Samuel and Lea DEMAREE to Pieter Demarree of New Bridge, NJ on 6 April 1773 states "We have just moved to here from Conewegen on a place belonging to Jacob Vanderveer and since Abraham DeBaan and our Minister were coming to the Jesweys we put a receipt in this letter, asking you also to send that money if you please with Abraham Debaun. Rev. Cozyn will convey it here. Soon as he arrives he will preach here..." Some of the names that I have learned were associated with this group are CAMINES, DUREES, DEMAREES, DEBAUNS, VANARSDALES and VORISES but I want to know more names if possible, particularly if there were any ROMINES in the group.
